# Event Details - **Event Name**: Finding Ground: A Yoga & Meditation Series for Nervous System Healing in Community - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 29 Jul, 2025 at 05:30 pm – Tue, 29 Jul, 2025 at 07:00 pm - **Event Description**: A Yoga & Meditation Series for Nervous System Healing in Community Tuesdays, 5:30-7:00pm July 8 - 29, 2025 Led by Laurie Brockhaus, LCSW, E-RYT500 C-IAYT (she/her) Finding Ground is a 4-week yoga and meditation series to help you reconnect with yourself, calm your nervous system, and find steadiness—both within and around you—during uncertain and challenging times. If you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or in need of a gentle retreat, this series is here to support you—whether you’re new to yoga and meditation or already have a practice. The practices and teachings of yoga offer a path of slowing down, tuning into the wisdom of the body, and releasing stuck energy and emotions. Practicing in a shared space adds to these already-powerful benefits by fostering community, connection, and support. Each session will include an intentionally-sequenced practice of: - gentle yoga asana (movement/ physical shapes) - yin yoga (a slow, meditative practice that involves holding seated or reclining shapes for longer durations) - breath work, meditation, mudra (symbolic hand gestures) opportunities for reflection (with optional sharing). You'll also receive encouragement and guidance for building a simple home practice, including audio recordings to support you between sessions. Over our four weeks together, we’ll explore what it means to feel grounded—physically, emotionally, and in community. This series is based on the teachings of The Trauma-Conscious Yoga Method. And, Laurie teaches in a trauma-informed way: offering choices throughout the practice, inviting each participant to move at a pace that feels physically and emotionally safe, and guiding with verbal cues and demonstration (no physical touch).. Note: This series is not a replacement for mental health therapy; it is intended as a supportive, educational, and experiential class that focuses on embodied practice rather than discussion. Weekly themes: July 8: Exploring our nervous system and the wisdom of the body July 15: Creating a strong foundation and a sense of safety July 22: Navigating strong emotions with kindness and compassion July 29: Maintaining hope amidst challenge - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/shrewsbury/finding-ground-a-yoga-and-meditation-series-for-nervous-system-healing-in-community/200028551766448 - **Event Categories**: health-wellness, meditation, contests, workshops, mental-health - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 1 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Shrewsbury - **state**: MO - **country**: United States - **location**: 7602 Big Bend Blvd, St. Louis, MO, United States, Missouri 63119 - **lat**: 38.59902 - **long**: -90.32847 - **full address**: 7602 Big Bend Blvd, St. Louis, MO, United States, Missouri 63119, 7602 S Big Bend Blvd, St Louis, MO 63119, United States, Shrewsbury ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Finding Ground: A Yoga & Meditation Series for Nervous System Healing in Community - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/63ec8dcef53417bc5b6268f825619320c3a2c0a76c547112c0f4474e9251912a-rimg-w1200-h969-dc322a1e-gmir?v=1753304507 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Finding Ground: A Yoga & Meditation Series for Nervous System Healing in Community being held? - **A:** Finding Ground: A Yoga & Meditation Series for Nervous System Healing in Community takes place on Tue, 29 Jul, 2025 at 05:30 pm to Tue, 29 Jul, 2025 at 07:00 pm at 7602 Big Bend Blvd, St. Louis, MO, United States, Missouri 63119, 7602 S Big Bend Blvd, St Louis, MO 63119, United States, Shrewsbury. - **Q**: Who is organizing Finding Ground: A Yoga & Meditation Series for Nervous System Healing in Community? - **A:** Finding Ground: A Yoga & Meditation Series for Nervous System Healing in Community is organized by Empowered Spaces. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
